Why content? Technology uses across the content areas? Across the grades? Our education system?
While I was reading Gilbert's article, Knowledge, the disciplines, and learning in the Digital Age, I kept thinking that if we could do it all over again . . . if we could recreate the educational system today what would the education system look like? Our educational system needs a change, it feels like we are so content driven that we lose sight of purpose of education. Content is important, but also the process of getting there, the skills, problem solving, social interaction, etc. Technology across the grades and content areas can be used to explore, manipulate, present, analyze the content in dynamic ways. Technology enhances the educational process and opens up the world. Gilbert says that knowledge is constructed collaboratively, what better way to do this than the the medium of technology.
